Pietro and Floyd look at the recent movements in Australian Parliament—namely the MAD (Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill failing this past week after independent Senators Lambie, Pocock, and Payman all announced they would vote against it. The Libertarian Party was instrumental in mobilising community members contacting the Senators’ offices and pleading with them to vote against it.

Unfortunately, while this encroachment on free speech seems to be momentarily forestalled, the Social Media Ban for all kids under 16 will pass next week with bipartisan Labor and Liberal support, and Albanese and Dutton arguing over who supports it more.

Pietro and Floyd also take a look at the recent ‘haka’ demonstration in Parliament by the Te Maori party in response to David Seymour from the Libertarian party (ACT) over there attempting to remove some of the enshrined privileges the indigenous have been enjoying there at the expense of the taxpayer.

Unburdened by what has been (and what could have been), Pietro, Max, and Floyd look at the re-election of Donald Trump as the President of the USA. They do some result analysis of the swing states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. They also look at the mistakes of the Kamala Harris campaign (such as choosing to tour with Liz Cheney), and they talk about some of Trump’s promises and the likelihood of him keeping them.

The more important libertarian-esque promises include freeing Ross Ulbricht, appointing Elon Musk (and Ron Paul) to shrinking government size, ending the Ukraine-Russia war, and appointing RFK Junior as the head of the FDA.

They also take a look at Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver and analyse what could be the reasons behind his poor result compared to previous Libertarians running for President.

Pietro and Max catch up on a slew of recent news. First, Libertarian MP David Limbrick this week dropped the monumental bombshell that there was a recording of 000 call made by Dan Andrews in 2013 following the ‘bike boy’ incident, where he and his wife hit and hospitalised a 15-year-old cyclist. The recording reveals Andrews admitting ‘we hit him’, after police investigations had squashed the story for years.

In US politics, it appears the Trump campaign has another drawcard for libertarian voters, as Elon Musk has a public exchange with libertarian icon Ron Paul on X inviting him to be a part of the new ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE) which Trump plans on making Musk the head of.

Finally, the two look at the recent betting odds for who will win the US Presidency, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, set to be uncovered on Wednesday.

Pietro is joined by John Ruddick—NSW Member of the Legislative Council for the Libertarian Party. John is an avid follower of US politics, and has recently endorsed Donald Trump in NSW Parliament, and aims to break down why Australians should care about the result of the upcoming US election.

John and Pietro discuss all things US politics, including: the Russia-Ukraine War, the imminent threat of nuclear war, inflation, the trillions of dollars of national debt, the immigration crisis, the lawfare, the Russiagate hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop story suppression, and much more.

John gives his opinion on what the US will face should Trump or Kamala Harris win, as well as possible scenarios that could play out depending on who wins and by what margin.

John also gives a brief rundown of recent NSW election results, including the Council elections and the three by-elections contested by the Libertarian party.

Pietro is joined by Libertarian Party Senate Candidate for Victoria, Jordan Dittloff. A long-time friend of the show, Jordan gives a rundown of the latest news with the MAD (Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill, and all the horrible new ways the government are looking to censor free speech and free expression of ideas.

The Bill will soon be voted on, and it’s down to the Liberals potentially teaming up with the Greens and some independents to block this horrible piece of legislation that Labor is proposing once more.

Jordan also gives a brief summary and update on the internal struggles within the Victorian Liberal Party, as former MP Moira Deeming is suing leader John Pesutto for defamation for portraying her as a Nazi sympathiser.

Pietro and Floyd catch up after a month’s hiatus and discuss the many recent goings-on. First they talk about the recent success of the NSW division of the Libertarian Party in their Council elections, and how this could hopefully bode well for Victoria’s upcoming Council elections this month.

Next they discuss the new iteration of the ACMA Bill, now known as the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill (with the appropriate acronym: MAD), and what it could mean for freedom of speech.

Finally, they take a brief look at the recent updates of the US Presidential Election, and the increase in both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’ engagement with podcasts and independent media.

Pietro and Floyd look at the recent updates in the US election race. They break down the new Democratic party’s candidate, Kamala Harris, and the media propaganda campaign to rebrand her as someone far more impressive than she is.

They also look at RFK and Tulsi Gabbard’s endorsement of Donald Trump, and how Trump’s campaign has changed since the assassination attempt. They look at how RFK could improve Trump’s policy on issues such as the CIA and FBI, as well as the Russia Ukraine war.

Finally, they talk about Jerome Powell’s recent announcement that the US would be cutting interest rates, and what this means for interest rates and inflation here in Australia as a consequence.

Pietro is joined by Libertarian Councillor for the Surf Coast Shire, Paul Barker. Paul talks about the upcoming Council elections, and how the various Councils around Victoria have become bloated in their perverse desire to advocate for issues which extend far beyond the purview of Councils. These include taking stances on foreign wars, advocating for removal of women-only spaces, and a whole multitude of other aspects of the increasingly vocal woke agenda.

Paul advocates for a return to normality, with his ‘Back to Basics’ group of Council candidates who aim to limit the scope of Council issues to roads, rates, and rubbish.

Pietro and Paul also then broaden to talk about other important libertarian issues, not least of which is a message of hope to bring more people into the movement.
